Blacked out Emblems

So I painted my emblems black and went to put the tailgate emblem back on. Because of the thickness of the tape, there is a little space between the truck and the emblem. Did anyone else run into this problem?

 

What kind of tape did you use there shouldnt be that much of a gap.

 

I used what everyone recommended... 3M Indoor/Outdoor Mounting Tape - Super Heavy Duty

 

hmmm i used 3m automotive emblem tape thats why i didnt have that problem, well if you can live with it i would leave it, unless it starts to mess up.

 

I used this too. However, how bad is it sticking out? Try pressing on it some more to close the gap. this tape is good, and it will definitely hold the badges on.

 

post some pics to show the gap

 

I took it off and used automotive emblem tape instead. Came out much better. Here's my thread about the mods... http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacomas/15492-my-weekend-project-minor-mods.html

 

how did you re-badge it after you painted em black?

 

3M Indoor/outdoor double sided tape.

 

I stuck my emblems back on with black RTV. Was worried it was gonna fall off, until I decided I put one back on just a tiny bit crooked, went to take it off. It was stuck just as hard as the OEM tape.

 

You can sand them down a little bit or use adhesion promotor. I sanded them down a bit before applying the paint

 

i have the 06 gold tacoma wanting some feed back on doing oregon beaver orange badges and emblems.

lay it on me what cha think

 

i answered in your thread....but go for it man!

 

how do you take the emblem off the grill?

 

What kind of adhesive did you use when you put them back on?

 

There's clips in the back, it's pretty easy but be careful. The clips are weak.
